If I pull a gun when ICE thugs roll up on me, I am ABSOLUTELY not going to the gulag.
I will be dead, having been shot 197 times by 3 people who shot 400 rounds each.
But if I'm lucky, quick, and have drilled enough with my firearm, I'll have taken at least one of them with me.
The gun isn't some magic forcefield, and nobody who posts or says things like this is under the illusion that it is.
I will happily catch bullets taking some ICE thugs with me before I lie down and accept death in a concentration camp.
I will also happily catch bullets taking some ICE thugs with me to protect someone nearby from being taken.
Nobody posting memes like this is under any illusion that if they pull a gun, they are getting away with no repercussions. Bare minimum, you are now on the run for the rest of your life or until the remaining US population sees the light of day and organizes with us.
I recently watched a 3d video in a small theater about dinosaurs, and in the video we follow a T-Rex mother from her first eggs to death, including a fight with another dinosaur that ends up crippling a leg, and then the last few shots of her are limping toward carrion to survive a little longer, and then dead in a creek bed and I legitimately almost walked out of the little theater we were in.
I may have smoked a little before going in, so I may have been a little more emotional than usual. But still.
It was.
In Ohio? I'm almost positive it isn't legal. It's definitely illegal in states like California. But they're banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.
I doubt it's a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.
I would never let him live that admission down.
Every day I'd be reminding him about what cognitive dissonance is, and that he was all for a policy change until he learned that the belief he held and was ACTIVELY ADVOCATING FOR aligns with an ideology that someone who makes a lot more money than he does told him to hate.
As someone who vomits at a strong smell of alcohol and gets nauseous with any smell...
Fuckin wat
Alcohol is no more evil than table salt or the dirt beneath your feet.
Guess what! Everything you consume is slowly contributing to your ultimate fate.
If you want to pass on any consumption, cool. Good for you.
If you want to be a judgemental ass towards others, there's the door. If it hits you in the ass on the way out, so be it.
Look, if you want to wrangle with a bear to try and get that pelt, you go right ahead.
I've had enough suffering in my lifetimes, I'm hunkering down and waiting for the department of temporal investigations to show up and take me home.
Besides, you need at least 3μg of pergium, which I'm sure I don't have to remind anyone is not native to the solar system.
Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.
Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.
I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.
Oddly, I did not get the job
Unfortunately due to some temporal shenanigans, I'm stuck here without so much as a self-sealing stem bolt.
No transporter system.
Besides, why would I want to wipe my pattern buffer ~~prisoners~~ ~~guests~~ experiments?
There's 1,000 jokes that can be made in sure, but in the US I once found a grenade while magnet fishing and called a guy my parents know who is a cop. The moment I realized what it was, I told my friend to run to the end of the bridge, and I gently laid it on the pile of rope I was using.
They have a whole bomb squad that's about 30 minutes away at full speed, and they rolled up with their trailer, a guy in a suit came over to the bridge and placed it in a box, put the box in the trailer, and one dull THUNK later all I had to do was sign a paper saying this is where I found it.
I specifically called my parents friend rather than 911 because I had read too many accounts of cops showing up and attempting to arrest the magnet fisher for any number of reasons.
UXO is no fucking joke, don't for a second think you can handle it without training. You really have no idea what explosive compound they used or what it's stability level is after being exposed to the elements.
What guns? I lost mine in a boating accident. Terrible tragedy, but I figure they're a waste of money and haven't bought another one.
Oh, all that ammo? I just keep that for emotional support. It's been hard since the accident...
Just don't ask what's behind my "I sure do love me some Jesus" shrine or why the wall behind it doesn't make sense with the wall placement in the other room, or why I have 42 copies of the Bible in extra large print on one shelf in the living room...
(LPT: they don't open bibles and they probably wouldn't destroy a Jesus memorial in front of others who supposedly love Jesus in order to discover the hidden door to the storage room)
